Left for Dead Came Back for Everything novel Chapter 53

Yvonne failed to gain any advantage over Eliza, but she successfully ruined Zander's chances of getting close to her time and time again, completely draining whatever little patience and lingering affection he had left.

Eliza's disgust for Zander deepened with every layer of this endless drama.

By now, she didn't even have the interest to watch their little soap opera.

That evening, Eliza was in the studio choreographing a simple routine.

It would be the debut dance for her new account.

The effects of the nerve block had long worn off, and a familiar dull ache throbbed deep within her left leg.

She didn't attempt any difficult moves, opting instead to improvise a comfortable, expressive sequence.

Gwen Jordan stood off to the side, recording with her phone.

The music was a melancholic instrumental track—no lyrics, just the deep, weeping notes of a cello.

Eliza closed her eyes, completely immersing herself in her own world.

It was a beautiful, broken story.

At the end, the heroine was like a butterfly reborn from the ashes.

Dancing gracefully through the wind and rain.

Just like her own circumstances.

As the final note faded, she slowly knelt on the floor, looked up at the lens with a single tear in her eye, and smiled a brilliant, relieved smile.

Gwen was mesmerized; the moment the recording stopped, she rushed over and hugged Eliza, her eyes red.

"Eliza, you made me cry."

She uploaded the raw, unedited improvisation to Eliza's account.

The caption was a single line: [If a phoenix can rise from the ashes, so can a butterfly.]

Overnight, the video took the internet by storm.

If The Crimson Vow was stunning, this improvised routine was a resonance of the soul.

[Oh my god, I don't know what she's been through, but I can feel her pain.]

[The soul of this entire dance is on another level.]

[Is she using dance to tell us that even with broken wings, we should still try to fly? I'm sobbing.]

When the news officially broke that Eliza would be the Dance Director for Caleb Andrews' new film, Snowbound.

The entire entertainment industry and the internet went wild.

An unknown dancer who had just made a splash online had skyrocketed to become a core creative member behind a top-tier director's project.

It was the kind of luck people could only dream of.

The universe had practically shoved a golden ticket into her hands.

But after the initial excitement faded, Eliza suddenly realized that things weren't as simple as they seemed.

It had all gone a little too smoothly.

Even if her dancing was excellent, it shouldn't have caught a major director's eye so quickly.

The world didn't have that many fairy godmothers.

The more she thought about it, the more suspicious it felt.

Could Zander have orchestrated this?
